Description
This specimen, identified as Star of the Veldt, presents a delicate, herbaceous form with multiple slender stems emerging from the base. It features characteristic white daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centers, alongside numerous developing buds and spent blooms, indicating active growth. While not a traditional bonsai, its multi-stemmed habit could be conceptually aligned with an informal upright style if one were to consider its individual stalks.
